Strongly tempted to sell my NEX-7 kit to fund the Fuji (probably enough left over to jump from 7D to 5D3 as well or buy some new SLR glass). Anybody here switch between Sony and Fuji? I used to own an X100 and loved it but missed too many shots due to general all around slowness. The NEX-7 tri-navi is nice but I find it is really a pain to hand off to anyone else in the family and not end up recording video or getting in Tv mode or something ridiculous with no visual indication. And it misses its share of focus as well, plus the sensor overheating in video...

If the Fuji 23mm and 56mm were available now it would probably be a no-brainer.

I once had a NEX-7 - the differences in sensors are well-documented by now - very much personal taste. I'd knock the 18mm out - the mid-range zoom is well worth it.

I had an Nex 7 before with the 18-55 and the 16mm lens. Doesn't matter what it says on paper, the Fuji is simply a better camera. Surprisingly the broad squarish bottom of the Fuji is much more comfortable to hold. And Fuji's sensor and glass and most important, image production is better than the Nex 7.

Is Nex 7 a bad camera, no not at all. It's a very good one. However once I've gone Fuji, I can't see myself turning back and I've never been a fanboy of ANY brand in the past before.

General "slowness" still there with my XE1 and 18-55 if you're talking lower light levels (indoors), outdoors it's fine. Fuji's AF unfortunately still pretty finnicky, supposedly a June or July firmware will improve it more, but who knows?
